Laure works in real estate management. She said, “(The Chinese Communist Party) organ harvesting from living persons is too cruel. This is a terrorist act. It must be stopped, completely stopped!” She said that the situation we live in currently keeps getting worse. Falun Dafa practitioners do only good deeds, and do not disturb others. Carrying out bloody killing of these good people by the CCP is terrifying, and it still avoids this matter (internationally). The media doesn’t report it, and people in France don’t know about it. She was indignant about this. She said, “I signed the petition. Every French person must sign, and people all over the world should sign to oppose such persecution.”

Inspired by an article on Minghui and while looking inward, Ms. Zheng discovered her fundamental attachment was that she felt that the teachings of Dafa aligned with the human values she was taught. “All along, I did not discover this fundamental attachment, so, of course I could not get rid of it.” “When I examined my thoughts, I found that I used the ways of conducting oneself as a standard to judge many people and things. I thought I was right to be angry with employees who did not do things the right way or were not hardworking. That’s because in my mind, I thought my values of conducting myself in human society were correct.”
When she put her mind to eliminating this attachment, she felt Master helped her. “I clearly felt Master remove a huge material substance. The displeasure and resentment I had towards other practitioners became weak as if they were just a tiny black substance on the surface. They no longer control my emotions.”
